Match Your Mate — Tips

Choose the right pairing mode

• Use Random pairs when you want the whole group to mix.
• Use Fixed pairs for couples, best friends, teammates, or any established pairs you want to test directly.
• Use Fixed + singles when the group contains established pairs plus solo players.

Keep answers fair

• Keep answers short, clear, and spontaneous.
• The starter should commit before the partner speaks.
• No hints, coaching, or tactical answer changes if you want a clean match.
• Agree before the first round what counts as close enough, then let the moderator use the same standard all game.

Use the filters well

• Set Audience first, then adjust Intensity and Topics to match the people in the room.
• A smaller content pool repeats sooner. Watch the available Question and Task counts after filtering.
• If the game becomes too mild, too bold, or too repetitive, change the filters instead of forcing the round.

Make singles part of the game

Fixed + singles is made for mixed groups. Substitute rounds bring solo players into the game without destroying the permanent-pair structure. Let the temporary pairing be part of the fun.

Keep the pace

• A good rhythm is: pair, Question, first answer, second answer, verdict, Task only on NO MATCH, then Next match.
• The moderator keeps the device throughout the game. There is no need to pass it around.
• Do not turn every verdict into a debate. Make the call and keep playing.

Let the answers start conversations

The best rounds are not always the matches. A surprising NO MATCH often starts the funniest conversation. The Task is the consequence, not the whole point.

Prevent the second answer from becoming a copy

Give both players a moment to think before the starter speaks. Keep the starter’s answer short and final. The moderator should use the same matching standard for every pair, including close friends and new acquaintances.
